According to the documentation the ownership of a QObject created by
QQmlComponent::create is transferred to the caller.
This fixes a crash on KWin tear down.
In order to get all our UI being written in QML, the Outline for
compositing is ported to QtQuick. It creates a QQmlContext and
QQmlComponent and loads the (currently hardcoded) qml file. The context
gets to properties exported: outline. The outline property allows the qml
to get the geometry it should use. The QQmlEngine is used from Scripting
thus all general scripting properties are exported (e.g. workspace).
The qml script is expected to create a QQuickWindow as it's root item
and style it.
The qml file is stored in a new qml subdirectory. The idea is that each
of the qml types we have gets an own directory there and for each
implementation there should be a further subdirectory.
Thus we have outline/plasma/ with outline being the type and plasma
being the implementation. But at the moment the script location is still
hardcoded.

It's only used from useractions.cpp which means that it's not the best
fit in utils. We can see the problems with it given that it was in an
ifdef and it included quite some headers into everything.

The non-composited part handles the showWithX case with the four small
windows. The composited part shows a translucent QWidget with the
FrameSvg as done by the selection effect frame.
Outline connects to the Compositor toggled signal to switch the mode if
compositing gets suspended/resumed. This works fine also in the case that
the switch happens while the outline is shown. To support this Outline
is now a QObject and created with Workspace as a parent.
Given that the Outline handles both cases by itself, the outline effect
is no longer needed and is dropped together with all the hooks into the
effect system.
It's an option doing pretty much the same as the highlight of selected
window option. But it is known to conflict especially with some Plasma
themes.

Use xcb to create and manage the X11 backend of Outline. In addition the
used background pixmaps are rendered with XRender instead of using a
QPainter on a QPixmap. This is done because QPixmap is no longer bound to
an X Pixmap.
To create the XRender Picture the available functionality from
kwinxrenderutils is used. To be able to use it in KWin core the compile
option to build without XRender is removed for kwinxrenderutils, but
still supported for effects.
Obviously the port to XCB is not complete as xremderutils itself is still
on XLib.

Unless the mouse pointer is not next to an electric border kwin calls
Outline::hide() on every move/resize event. To avoid unnecessary
repaints we now check whether the outline has been visible or not.
This change unduplicates some code and merges it into one class
allowing us to use an replacement effect for the outline in
future.
